A Snowy Farm - Part 1

It was cold and snowy outside, and I could see through a window that this tree was covered in white. It's a double tree - a wild seeded Golden Delicious apple on the left, and a flowering crab on the right:

So I bundled up and went outside for a closer look at all the wintry beauty. The Golden Delicious in the above photo still had apples clinging to its frozen branches:

I looked across the county road to the northwest and my neighbors' house:

 Then I turned my gaze toward the north field, which was across the gravel town road:

 Due west was my neighbors' barn:

 And to the southwest was the farm field on which alternating crops of soybeans and field corn are grown and harvested:

The cattle and horses were clustered at the bale feeder on the east side of the barn:

 And the trees at the edge of the field to the northeast were beautifully covered in snowy white:

 For a closeup view, I checked out the Rugosa Rose hips, growing right near the farm house back door:

All five dogs were watching me from their fenced yard:

 The Bridalveil Spirea bushes were intricate and lacy, all covered with snow. I continued walking, and will post Part 2 tomorrow:
